Music Copyright Marries Creativity and Money

What's the big deal about music copyright anyway? Music copyright is a marriage between creativity and money.

A painter paints pictures on canvas.  But musicians paint their pictures on silence.  ~Leopold Stokowski

The ideal story works this way.

John writes a song. He's so passionate about the song that he then makes a rough recording of the song in a home studio (talk about a room full of eggtrays, a microphone and a computer with recording software). Then he approaches Mr. Producer to listen to it.

Music Copyright in the Philippines

Music copyright in the Philippines occupied lots of my working hours for nearly six years. I used to work in a licensing company that serves independent composers. It has been months since I left it, but the stigma of the things I saw and discovered lingered.

Music copyright is MONEY. It affects the things people have on their tables. Not only is it money, it is a virtual real estate, or something that earns money for the music composer not just once, but over and over again, for as long as his or her musical creations are being used.
